It's Britney, Nick - Dinner Plus Drinks #93

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Hey Bridget, did you know it's New Year's Eve? I love New Year's Eve. It's it's the most fabulous night of the year. September New Year's Eve? Well, you know we love October, whatever day. Listeners, you know we love a good a good party. Good reason to celebrate. I love New Year's. It's the Lake Chief Country meets fiscal New Year, so very exciting.

SPEAKER_00 0:17

Just the same as the turn of the year.

SPEAKER_01 0:19

This is gonna be a celebratory episode.

SPEAKER_00 0:22

You all ready for it? Celebrations mean what, Nick? Oh woo! Woo! I tried to time that better. I'm sorry. That's okay. It was really hard to open. Bubbles. Celebrations always mean bubbles in our neck of the woods. So that's what we're drinking today. Nick's gonna have to tell us more about what kind.

SPEAKER_01 0:55

Ultraviolet. This comes from California, little husband and wife producer, small producer. It's the Rose.

SPEAKER_00 1:00

Happy New Year! Cheers! That was us clinking our plastic glasses.

SPEAKER_01 1:04

And yeah, I forgot to get the real ones today. I'm sorry, everybody. But it's just so nice, I think, to celebrate life's little victories and losses with bubbles.

SPEAKER_00 1:13

Every day, bubbles just is better. Yes, guys, they're not just reserved for celebrations like the fiscal new year, but every day is fine. It's also hot outside. Yeah, this is bullshit. It is not the nice fall weather. I mean, could you please tell everybody what Elliot said? Yes, Elliot the other day, like Tuesday, maybe the first day that it was hot, he's like, Mom, after I picked him up unprovoked, mom, why is it hot fall weather? I want the cold fall weather. And I'm like, yeah, man, so do I.

SPEAKER_01 1:39

This is BS. If there was ever any doubt that he is Bridget's son, he just proved beyond any measure that he is indeed Bridget's son.

SPEAKER_00 1:49

It's not just like 79, it's 85, I think is what the weather was calling for.

SPEAKER_01 1:55

We're recording on a Thursday suite because Friday we are gonna be out at Lakelawn Resort, Majestic Oaks Golf Course, the Kraft Brew Open, celebrating Oktoberfest and making some some brats in the course, pouring some beers for uh delicious, delicious Hoffbrow beer. Yeah. And uh, I think selling some raffle tickets for open arms. It's gonna be a three for one. We debated recording this episode live.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

I think we're gonna be busy.

SPEAKER_01 2:22

I think we had enough things to do. Pouring beer, cooking brats, selling raffle tickets. So this this one we decided since it was so hot, we would just do nice refreshing bubbles. And just, you know, we always say we're here to help you feel a little bit better about life. Yeah. Hey, if it's your end of your quarter and you met your sales goal if you didn't meet it this whole year and it's been just a year. A year. Open some bubbles, guys. This is like $17, I think. This bottle. You there's good sparkling wine for under $20 now. So you can open a bottle of bubbles and just toast life. Oh man.

SPEAKER_00 2:57

I thought we were gonna go back to complaining that it was gonna be hot at the golf outing.

SPEAKER_01 3:02

Well, it's gonna be super hot.

SPEAKER_00 3:03

So I was all excited to like have a crisp fall day on the golf course. No, we're gonna be sweating in the sun and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 3:08

We do have sweet aprons that arrived.

SPEAKER_00 3:11

Did they?

SPEAKER_01 3:11

Yeah, I thought about bringing them, but we'll bring them for next neck next episode.

SPEAKER_00 3:14

I feel like I need to get a hat with an umbrella on it.

SPEAKER_01 3:16

Ooh, I like that.

SPEAKER_00 3:17

Does anyone own one of those? Could you drop it off at Lake Geneva Country Meets?

SPEAKER_01 3:20

5907 State Road 50 East Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_00 3:23

Today or before 9 a.m.

SPEAKER_01 3:25

And you know you need to get the East and the address thing because sometimes they'll send you to the wrong side of Lake Geneva.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

Also, don't drop it off because this will come out after we're done with the golf outing.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

Oh, you could still you could still use it.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

Um, yeah, it's okay, I did something exciting today. So since I wrote the outline, I'm looking at the outline. I wrote that I was thinking about ordering, but I did order a dumpster for our house. Oh, yay, congratulations! Exciting news. That's huge. If you're new here, um huge you this is wishful thinking, big time on my part, but we have been trying to do a renovation since April of 2020. Um, here we are, October 2021, just about. And it has not started. I mean, I'm sorry, the behind the scenes process has started, no construction has started. Um, we have ordered a dumpster for our house to finally just like uh Tyler and I are cleaning out all the crap. Like our garage, some boxes got wet from an air conditioning situation, whatever. So, like we need to chuck all of that and it fills our weekly garbage. So we finally we ordered a dumpster, it's arriving, and we're gonna be getting rid of everything. And I'm hoping it's like when you're at a restaurant and you're so hungry, you're waiting for food to come, you get up to go to the bathroom, and your food always shows up. Heck yeah. I'm kind of hoping it's like that. That's great. We ordered our dumpster, we're gonna be ready to go, and then maybe miraculously our construction will start.

SPEAKER_01 4:44

The other thing it could be like is when you're watching water hoping for it to boil, and it takes longer.

SPEAKER_00 4:49

And it doesn't. Yeah, that could also be could also be that, Bridget.

SPEAKER_01 4:51

It's gonna go one or two ways.

SPEAKER_00 4:53

Like the storage unit we have in our driveway since last November. So yeah, it'll be more like that probably. But um, super awesome. Ooh, I could save this for my product rec. I was just gonna give you a product rack of a local company, but I'm gonna save it. Um, other than that, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 5:06

What else is what's going on your week? Well, we just just picked a day for Some Toberfest.

SPEAKER_00 5:11

Oh yeah, I was actually wondering if that was happening this year.

SPEAKER_01 5:14

Um we're now let's see. We're now I need to check to make sure the bounce house. I need to check and make sure this all just reminded me that I need to check and make sure the bounce house is available.

SPEAKER_00 5:24

Maybe not during our uh podcast.

SPEAKER_01 5:25

But we'll we'll get the bounce house set up later. I know of another company if that one falls through. Yep, we'll just need to get a bounce house. And I'm very excited about that. It's just I I I'm a big self-scouting person, you know. Maddie LaFleur, head coach of the two in one Green Bay Packers, don't cut him out yet. Big on self-scouting. I uh I think it's good. I I think we talk about this every new year, but it's just been a week of my dad's on vacation, so every time he goes on vacation, just stuff goes wrong. Yeah, and the first day he was gone, it was about 72 things that went wrong in pretty quick succession at the end of the day. So it's just been a little bit of a like bummer week, but you know what? It's been a bummer year.

SPEAKER_00 6:06

But you're celebrating anyway, huh?

SPEAKER_01 6:08

The year is over, and next year is gonna be better.

SPEAKER_00 6:11

Next fiscal year, everybody.

SPEAKER_01 6:13

That's how I like it.

SPEAKER_00 6:14

I'm just gonna remind you, that's how Nick lives on the edge.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

We start we start at zero tomorrow. Tomorrow it's a zero. Oh, that's crazy. And doesn't matter what you did, if it was good or if it's bad, you gotta prove yourself all over again. You have a chance to show whatever.

SPEAKER_00 6:29

I think it's like a walking Instagram meme right now. Yeah, I am. I am. It's you know, you start your day fresh every day.

SPEAKER_01 6:35

Ask Giannis about it. He says it doesn't matter. No, we gotta go for the next year. We're no longer the what do you say? Don't call me MVP after today, you know, all these things. I mean, you're right. Prove it again, Giannis. Prove it again. Yeah, please do. Did you see how much money uh the Wisconsin I I think Visit Milwaukee actually put out the economic impact of their finals run, it was like $57 million for downtown. I mean, damn. They needed it too.

SPEAKER_00 7:03

Just yeah, because the DNC, did you see they're um gonna run again? They should be.

SPEAKER_01 7:08

I mean, Milwaukee got hosed.

SPEAKER_00 7:10

Milwaukee did get hosed, but good thing those bucks are good.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

Yeah, so I'm happy for them. It's just been a been a blur, Bridget. Yeah, did you see that?

SPEAKER_00 7:19

This I I listened to many crime podcasts, as you know, and currently I'm binging morbid. I'm almost caught up to real time. And uh, they were just discussing a case and how like this suspect was being interviewed and they asked him or her about something they did like a year and a half ago on a Tuesday. And the guy was like, I don't know. Like, I I don't do you remember what you did on Tuesday? And it got me to thinking, I'm like, I don't remember what I did yesterday. So that this week, generally this month, has felt like a giant blur. Like, I don't remember what I did yesterday.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

One of the things that happened was our time clock started working, so all 40 some employees' punches didn't work. Stopped working, and um, so I had to be like, hey, what time did you leave work? And people are like, I don't know, I scheduled work at 4 30, just put me out at 4 30. That sounds about right. I'm like, okay, cool. And then one person was like, Oh, I left it, and this was like they also missed one a week ago. We do a two-week pay period. So I was like, hey, last Monday, when did you leave? They're like, well, it was 5.02. I kind of want to be like, How do you know that? I think you're lying because you're being a little overly specific.

SPEAKER_00 8:23

That's the thing. If you tell too many details, you get caught in your lie. I'm learning a lot from the crime podcast.

SPEAKER_01 8:28

So watch out. Don't cross Bridget. She knows how to murder.

SPEAKER_00 8:32

I'm a very bad liar, so it's fine. I would definitely get caught if I ever felt it necessary to become a murderer. But are you surprised at my news article? Yeah, it's my new article. I know, but you know I love a good on Milwaukee article.

SPEAKER_01 8:46

And you know I love a good April Fool's joke.

SPEAKER_00 8:48

Okay, which is why I had to do this. I like purposely try not to do things Nick calls me out on. So, for example, he calls me out on using on Milwaukee articles a lot. No, I don't. I love on Milwaukee. Yes, you do. I knew you were gonna choose this one.

SPEAKER_01 8:59

So this is I know it speaks to you, and it's like, I don't, I try not to take them from you.

SPEAKER_00 9:03

I want you to have that joke on the job.

SPEAKER_01 9:04

This one I was like, I've I want you to have that joke.

SPEAKER_00 9:06

I am putting this on the outline immediately so Nick can't have it, but I couldn't pass it up. So Lake Cheneva Country Meets, as you may not know, does a pretty profound April Fool's joke every year. I have next year's plan.

SPEAKER_01 9:19

Bridget's told me it's a disaster, and then it actually happened in real life. Yes. And I was just like, ha ha.

SPEAKER_00 9:25

So my issue with things such as Lake Cheneva Country Meets April Fool's or The Onion, for example. If it is gonna be a joke, let it be a joke. If it's going to be reality, then it wasn't a joke. So I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 9:39

I think a lot of reality is a joke.

SPEAKER_00 9:41

So Donald Trump was elected president. Boom. Okay, okay. So I like, for example, was it 2020 that the mac and cheese brat? When was that? 2019? This year. 2021? What are we doing? Yes, because it was immediately after COVID. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:58

It was supposed to be the mac and cheese in 2020, so we held on to it for a year. 2021, this year we released Mac and Cheese Brat.

SPEAKER_00 10:03

So we released the Mac and Cheese brat for April Fool's Day, but then it became a regular brat in our rotation. So like it wasn't a joke. So I don't understand.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

It was satire. So we the way we released it was satirical. We made fun of all the Instagram influencers, all the hype videos. Yes. And if you sometimes release true things on April Fool's Day, I know it makes the jokes even better because people aren't sure. You gotta keep it.

SPEAKER_00 10:27

Jump in. So, with all that background, I see that Culvers did the same thing. So they had a good on you, Culver. Good on you. They did an April Fool's joke, um, they tweeted out a joke called the Curder Burger, a new menu item called the Curder Burger. And it was a fried cheese curd on a bun. Um, but now it's becoming a reality, but only for one day. That's the catch. But I was like, oh my god, Lake Shiva Country Mates did it first. And yeah, now Culver's is doing it. So on um Friday, October 15th, which is National Cheese Day.

SPEAKER_01 11:00

It's Simona's birthday.

SPEAKER_00 11:02

And cheesecurd day. And my parents' anniversary. Well, big day here in southeastern Wisconsin. Um, Culver's is going to have a limited number of the extra cheesy burgers. So if you need to get a Curder burger, get it on October 15th. And that's the most Wisconsin thing in the world.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

So I don't know about you guys, but I love James Bond. I'm actually not a huge Daniel Craig James Bond person. To me, it got a little too serious. I think some of the fun of James Bond are the terrible puns, the ridiculous gadgets, the terrible women's names. Who could forget Pussy Galore, for instance, and her flying circus? Oh boy. Um, this the terrible plots, the the camp of all it. I love it because you turn out of the movie, it's an hour and a half, James Bond gets beat up, he kills some people, ends up with the girl, the world is saved. I love it. You can turn your mind off. The Daniel Craig ones have become a little like too. I don't know. Jason Bourne movies are good, but they're a different movie. Anyway, this is Blondie Bear, his Daniel Craig, his last movie as James Bond. And I don't know if you know, James Bond is a fictional commander in the Royal Navy, and Daniel Craig, as part of his role, has done a lot with the Royal Navy. They did this last movie, No Time to Die, which is coming out the first week of October. Uh, they did a lot of shooting together on location for Royal Navy bases and ships and stuff. And I guess he's done a lot to help Royal Navy families that are uh their you know loved ones are deployed and stuff. So he was made an honorary commander in the Royal Navy by the British Navy. Okay. And uh as part of that, he gets to do a lot of outreach stuff, represent the service, and uh it was just I'm a link to the actual article from the Ministry of Defense in in Britain. But they talk about how it's important to have that, how they like having these celebrities have these honorary ranks because it gives them better access to people, invest people into that. And the one of the coolest things that they talked about in the article is there's some actual commander bonds in the Royal Navy that get like crap all the time about it. So they all got invited to the ceremony where Daniel Craig was made an honorary commander and they all got a meet, and these people were just like, this was the coolest thing ever. So, anyway, I thought that was really cool. I think that's one of the things the United Kingdom does better than America with the like honorary things, and like I get it. Yeah, it's like a joke. It's who needs this, but I just think it's cool.

SPEAKER_00 13:29

So I'm like, You lost me somewhere because I don't care about James Bond. And I was like, wow, what is he talking about? And I was looking ahead at your products you were loving, and I'm like, this is not what he's talking about. I'm so confused.

SPEAKER_01 13:39

Oh, yes, it's very confusing. Okay, but I had one other thing, movie theater related, that I think we can both talk about. Yeah. So our our friend Daniel, he's um launch he he he's in the movie theater world, and he's he's uh a nerd like Tyler. I think Daniel would accept that. I think he would accept that. This is not an not an offensive thing. And Lake Geneva is the home of Dungeons and Dragons, and he has a really super cool business idea that he's working on. He just got some, what'd you call it, recognition for that? Pub for that?

SPEAKER_00 14:07

Yeah, he's been working on it for years, and it's finally picking up a lot of steam. And I know the background work he's been doing. I've seen all of the renderings and all the fun things, and yeah, now he just got I it's nice because I've never really known how much I could publicly talk about it, but we've known about it on the behind, you know, because we've been his friend for a long time. And um, yeah, so it's cool that it's kind of publicly out there and it's a restaurant. What's I don't know what the show is called.

SPEAKER_01 14:31

Called Griffin and Gargoyle, which some Project Pitch It. There you go. So uh his his business concept is called Griffin and Gargoyle. Uh he's publicly talked about this now, so I think we can. Sorry for it. I hope we can. Yep. But he's publicly talked about it now, so um it's a restaurant and event space and bar and axe throwing thing that celebrates fantasy and the legacy of Dungeons and Dragons in Lake Geneva.

SPEAKER_00 14:57

And it's a um, you know, they have done beautiful renderings. He has done beautiful, do beautiful renderings of what the space is going to look like. You can have special events there, which like it is, it is not a thing um I grew up with, but he's done a really nice job of still making me want to go to this place, even though I'm not like a Dungeons and Dragons person. But good on him for like our city should be celebrating this huge nationwide thing that is from the small town of Lake Cheneva that we do nothing for. Not nothing. There's a few like uh random events. So anyway, uh we hope if I don't know if voting, I don't know how Project Pitch It works, but um, if he do we vote for that? Do you know?

SPEAKER_01 15:36

I don't know. So Project Pitchett, uh, one of the local networks does it, it's kind of like Shark Tank, but he gotta go on there and talk about his his project. Oh, David Groomer's on it.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

It's it's uh WISN 12 thing. So I think those are the judges. Um, and it's with UWM School of Locals.

SPEAKER_01 15:53

David Groomer is a ambulance chaser. Ambulance chaser extraordinaire that has commercials everywhere. His thing is David Groomer, and Kal.

SPEAKER_00 16:03

That's awesome. I used to work in the same office building as him. Um whatever. I don't want I don't want to be rude about him because he is sponsoring, it looks like, and judging this program, which is great. So when we learn more about it, we're gonna keep you updated because we want you to support the local project from Lake Geneva and Daniel, who's worked really hard on it. So good job.

SPEAKER_01 16:20

Shout out to Daniel, we're very excited for you. And uh, I was looking up a lot of the puns from James Bond for this transition, and they're all given up on that. Really overtly sexual. And you kind of need to know the context of everything, so it wouldn't be a good joke. But if you want some chuckles, just go look up James Bond puns.

unknown 16:39

Great.

SPEAKER_00 16:40

But we're gonna take a quick break instead of sharing them with you. All right, we're back. We are back with indecisive Bridget sharing two product racks. I had one all set to go. We had two news stories, so. Okay, fair. Yeah, he's I'm rubbing off on him over here. So um You're a good influence, Bridget. Good influence. So um, first I'm just gonna start based on what I was discussing before. Dumpster research. Did you ever think I was gonna recommend a dumpster company?

SPEAKER_01 17:19

I had a rented dumpster when we were moving, and I got these BS fees that I didn't pay. Oh, and uh I didn't pay them. And I ended the phone conversation with, well, then I guess you can see me in court, and guess what they did? They called me and said, Well, we looked into it, and you're right, we're not gonna do that.

SPEAKER_00 17:37

Oh god. Okay, I am not in on fighting with my people. I'm trying to be, I know that this whole renovation process is gonna raise my blood pressure big time. So I'm like, all right. Um, Nick has previously.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Why would you say that, Bridget?

SPEAKER_00 17:50

No reason. It is a stressful process that is not on a schedule ever. So that does not get along with type A, Bridget. Um, so Nick has recommended Max Moving and Storage before. They're a local company. No, I don't get a discount from them. No, we aren't sponsored. We aren't that cool, you guys. It's just we've both used them. Um I have used them as movers now, I've used them as a portable storage unit in my driveway, and now they have a new service, they rent dumpsters. And I know this because they are good at their job and they parked a dumpster on their driveway, like where they store all their vehicles, which I happen to drive by on almost a daily basis, and I saw it. So I called four other dumpster companies. Max buy a long shot was the most fairly priced for the longest amount of time, et cetera, et cetera. So if you need movers, if you need a dumpster, if you need a storage unit or a portable storage unit, I can say I've used all of these services and I've been pleased with all of them. That's all. Max moving and storage in southeastern Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

You know, you also could just load up your car every day a little bit at a time and throw it out the dumpster at Lake Geneva Catch Meets.

SPEAKER_00 18:54

Who's got time for that?

SPEAKER_01 18:55

Don't do it. Nope, I don't want to.

unknown 18:57

Don't do it.

SPEAKER_01 18:57

Mine is a content creator that with coronavirus, we all haven't necessarily traveled as much as we want to. We all probably dream of flying first class, transcontinental, all of the things. I've always wanted to fly one of those Airbus 380s, the double deckers that's bigger than the 747.

SPEAKER_00 19:16

I've flown one double decker. Have you? Yes.

SPEAKER_01 19:18

Uh, and like the uh like flying emirates on their ridiculous all-marble first class. Yeah, I haven't flyed. The tickets are like 30 grand. No things so it's never gonna happen. But Noel Phillips is a YouTuber, content creator. He's on Facebook, Instagram, all of the channels. And he does, he flies places and reviews airlines and shares his experiences for a living. What? He also does train travel. He did this hilarious the train that derailed. Uh he was on that like a month ago. Like he does all these reviews. He drove through he so that train goes through lacrosse.

SPEAKER_00 19:52

Oh and uh on that train before.

SPEAKER_01 19:55

Yeah, where did Tyler go to? What's the name of Winona? Yes. He made some like hilarious comments about Winona that I wanted to send to Tyler and be like, um, but so he But is he local? Is he English? Oh he's English, he just does these really great reviews. He does things like flies on these crazy airlines in Africa and is like, I don't know, maybe this will be fine, maybe it won't. He um so anyway, I really like his content. He puts out like 20, 25 minute videos that you can watch, and they're just if you like air travel, if you're kind of a little geeky that way. If you want to see what business class on United looks like, you can see it. If you want to see the ridiculous first-class Emirates stuff, you can see it. Yeah, this is fascinating. So Noel Phillips, he's doing good work. He has a Patreon, if you want to really get into it. Oh, the one on the bottom I like this McDonald's? Fly to play into McDonald's. So where he is, he's also a private pilot. Like, they don't have a Maccas.

SPEAKER_02 20:48

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 20:49

So he like for one of his he's like, I'm gonna go fly to a Maccas. Of course. So what is his background?

SPEAKER_00 20:54

I don't really know. He's just like he made his money as a pilot and just does this on a side.

SPEAKER_01 20:58

He was doing something else and wanted to fly and then Well, I'm so fascinated. Then he learned he could make videos and make money off of it.

SPEAKER_00 21:05

I know, and fly everywhere in the world and make money off of genius.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

So good for him. Uh especially like if you're a little travel starved. I know, Bridget, you did a lot of traveling in previous lives. I did, yeah. This is the glamorous thing Sarah did a lot of it. I did.

SPEAKER_00 21:17

It's fun to watch. Yeah, I miss it. It's just gonna make me jealous, I think. But you know, now I mostly fly to Seattle and I was thinking about this. Mostly Tyler flies to Texas and I fly to Seattle and there to visit our siblings, and that's it, which is very important to us. But we're like, oh yeah, what if it was like we went on a fun trip ever? Those are fun in a different way.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

We need to go to Napa.

SPEAKER_00 21:39

Yeah, I mean, those trips are fun. I feel very bad. In a different way, they're fun. What if we all just met somewhere cool? Anyway, I have another product rack, okay? It's gonna be quick, and it's not as exciting as flying all over the world, but it is exciting if you are a worker outer.

SPEAKER_01 21:54

Um Everybody's a bit of a worker outer and you need to clean your clothes.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

So you're watching some frozen right now.

SPEAKER_00 22:03

Yeah. Years ago, um I like I I became a little bit of a snot and only like to work out in like the dry fitty clothes, you know? Like not a cotton shirt, right? The cotton shirts are terrible. Yeah. So I didn't used to care, but now I do. So, but I maybe I'm extra smelly. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 22:17

You're at a point in your life where you can care.

SPEAKER_00 22:19

Where I can care and only wear the special clothing, the special fabric that also used to not be so readily available. Like you can buy it. I remember having to go to the Nike outlet for these things. I know. Like anyway. Um, but dry fit clothes holds on to sweat smell very differently, and it doesn't come out with normal detergent, at least not me. And so um I someone recommended along the way, and this works. Um, they're called downy unstoppables and they're scent booster beads.

SPEAKER_01 22:46

We need these.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

Yeah, I use them every day. I threw them in my wash this morning. Um, you put them in the bottom of your washing machine, and it just helps, I mean, it helps get the stank out of dry fit clothes.

SPEAKER_01 22:56

So here's a little TMI. I uh had to switch deodorants for a bit to one that I really don't like the scent. And it's in the clothes a little bit, so that's perfect.

SPEAKER_00 23:04

I can throw those at it, maybe get the clothes. I mean, and that's like the easy affordable way. There are specific like active wear detergents um that are a little harder to come by, but oh, you can get it on Amazon. But this is one I've tested, I use all the time at home, and I love it. So there you go, guys. That is a great recommendation, Bridget. I'm here for you.

SPEAKER_01 23:22

Be right back. We're back. We're back, and I'm a little a little scared.

SPEAKER_00 23:43

Are you nervous because I blacked it out?

SPEAKER_01 23:44

It's a black bar.

SPEAKER_00 23:45

I just didn't want you to look because I didn't want you to prepare.

SPEAKER_01 23:48

Oh, I'm prepared.

SPEAKER_00 23:50

I am in charge of our rotating segment, and I thought to celebrate Britney Spears' conservatorship. Oh conservatorship, is that right? Yeah, conservatorship. Great. To celebrate, we we gotta talk about it, right?

SPEAKER_01 24:02

Heck yeah. Would it go, Brittany? I know.

SPEAKER_00 24:04

Free Britney, right? I haven't watched whatever Docuseries is on whatever thing, but I need to.

SPEAKER_01 24:11

Oh, me too, Lula Roach. Lula Rich. Lula Roach. Whoops, for the whole thing seems bizarre. Like these people are though I don't understand how the owners are on it be like, yeah, we're hoesing these people.

SPEAKER_00 24:22

I don't feel like they're like, I've only watched the first two of the four, and I don't feel like they think they're doing anything wrong still.

SPEAKER_01 24:29

I think they're just like we're supporting these ladies. They're like, yeah, we're making a lot of money out of them. But if they do all these things, they're gonna make a lot of money too.

SPEAKER_00 24:37

But some of them do. It's like the top, you know, the top 1%. Oof. Okay. Anyway, back to Brittany. So I thought to celebrate, I wanted to do reading mean tweets, but instead, I'm going to read lyrics from songs with no, I'm gonna try really hard to not sing them, and I'm just going to read them, and you have to name this the famous Britney song. Okay. Okay, and I've got one, two, three, four, five, six of them. I'm gonna do terribly. I know. Actually, I I'm like, how I don't know how easy to make this. Let's go. Let's go. I'm like, is Nick a closet Britney fan? I I mean, sometimes I bop along. Sometimes you do. Okay, are you ready? And if you don't know the name of it, if you can just like maybe continue singing it, I'll give you the point. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:22

Okay, that's generous. You ready? I'm ready.

SPEAKER_00 25:26

But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end. Well, baby, I went down and got it for you. Aww, you shouldn't have. I have no. Come on. This is the hardest part. I pulled out the hardest part. Okay. This is the uh the same song, different segment. It might seem like a crush, but it doesn't mean that I'm serious. Because to lose all my senses, that is just so typically me.

SPEAKER_01 25:49

Baby, baby. Oops. That's right. So the part at the end is.

SPEAKER_00 25:55

But I thought an old lady dropped it into the ocean. Well, baby, I went down. It's the whole weird Titanic segment at the end of it. Yes, it's the best part. Okay, good job. You got that. I forgot about that one. One point. No, not I didn't, I forgot about the I know the Titanic part. That was a really hard one to start on, to be fair.

SPEAKER_01 26:11

So, okay, so she is a bit crazy. Like, we all can acknowledge that, right? And there's reasons for but it's like, what did they have this good song? And then she's like, actually, I think we should like I just saw this movie called Titanic.

SPEAKER_00 26:24

I think we should put I think we should put these lyrics in my hit song. Or this like story. Okay, I will say, now that I've gone back and looked at song lyrics, which I've never examined her song lyrics, I'm like, I feel like she was begging to get out of this for years. Yes. When you and maybe uh everyone else is like, yeah, you dummy, but this is what I learned while playing this game. Um, okay, next. I again have two portions if it's too hard. You're dangerous. I'm loving it. Too high, can't come down, losing my head, spinning round and round. With a taste of a poison paradise. Oh, time. I'm addicted to you. There you go. I was like, I know what this is. I know. This is what's so frustrating about this game is like, you know what all of these are, but it's very hard. Okay. You're gonna either know this or not. This is how the song starts. It is my favorite Britney Spears song. Because I have a favorite. If you don't know it from these beginning lyrics, then you're not gonna know it. Are you ready? Early morning. She wakes up. Knock, knock, knock on the door. And she early morning. She wakes up to a knock, knock, knock on the door. That's my singing for you guys.

SPEAKER_01 27:34

Yeah, I can hear it. Uh, I don't know what the song's called. I don't really know where it goes from there.

SPEAKER_00 27:38

Lucky, she's a star. It's called Lucky.

SPEAKER_01 27:42

That was a hard one, Nick. No, I mean I that one actually like I could hear the song. Like, I don't know. I could, you're right. I knew that. Yes. I was like, oh, she's that lucky.

SPEAKER_00 27:50

I love that song. I don't know where it's like.

SPEAKER_01 27:52

I don't know where it goes from there.

SPEAKER_00 27:53

That's I literally depressing when you look at it. I just remember that.

SPEAKER_01 27:59

The knock knock knock is her dad.

SPEAKER_00 28:02

Give me my money. Give me my money, bitch. Okay. This is the only lyric I'm giving you for this song. When I'm not with you, I lose my mind. Give me a sign. Hit me, baby, one more time. You guys, it's hard to not sing these. It is. It's that's the best part though. Okay, so that's three out of four. You've um got three out of four, man. Good job. All right, this is another hard one. So this one, I'm not sure if this is like a song. I tried to pick her most popular songs. I feel like this is a popular one, but I I feel like I want to give you a pass. Okay. But all I really want is to hold you tight, treat you right, be with you daily.

SPEAKER_01 28:46

Oh, what is this one?

SPEAKER_00 28:47

It's another ballad. It's a slower one. It goes. I run, blank, I run, blank, I fall.

SPEAKER_01 29:00

Is it like I run to you or something?

SPEAKER_00 29:01

Sometimes I run. Sometimes I fall. It's called sometimes. The ballads are not your strong suit, Nick. I have no idea what album that's on. Who owns a Britney Spears album? Well, I mean No one calls it an album that owns a Britney Spears.

SPEAKER_01 29:17

We used to have to buy CDs, okay? And they were still called albums.

SPEAKER_00 29:21

I know, I hate that actually. Because I also own a I currently own a record player.

SPEAKER_01 29:25

Oh, look at you, a hipster.

SPEAKER_00 29:26

Oh, yeah, man. I love I love Christmas music on a record player. Like the whole reason I'm like, Oh, yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. Big Crosby Christmas records.

SPEAKER_01 29:34

Yep. The only reason I bet there's a Spotify station that I know.

SPEAKER_00 29:39

Because you know what's really annoying is you have to flip the record. I've done it every 20 minutes for Christmas parties constantly, and I'm like, why is there no music? Oh, the record's up.

unknown 29:47

Elliot.

SPEAKER_00 29:48

All right. And I think to really just talk about how amazing our girl Brittany is, we're gonna end on this one. Now it's nothing but my way. My loneliness ain't killing me no more. I I'm stronger. Oh my gosh. Come on, Nick. Keep going, Bridget. Wow, you guys. This really, I will say. Here I go. And so here, this is where it got me. Here's the lyrics. Here I go on my own. I don't need nobody. Better off alone. Here I go on my own now. I don't need nobody, not anybody. I should have done better on that one. I was like, whoa shit. That was bad. This is certainly about an ex-boyfriend, but it could be about our dad.

SPEAKER_01 30:34

Or it could be both.

SPEAKER_00 30:35

So, Britney, you are stronger.

SPEAKER_01 30:37

They're from Mississippi. You don't know.

unknown 30:38

Oh my God.

SPEAKER_00 30:39

This like brought me back, you guys. I really appreciate that. That was a joke about that was a joke. This was really fun. So thanks for participating. That was good. It had me uh nostalgic about the 90s.

SPEAKER_01 30:52

So you had two product recommendations. Do you have two foods? I'm gonna make two foods. This was a good food week for Nick. Mine I couldn't, mine wasn't. First, number one thing. I went a little insane on Sunday, Saturday, Sunday, Sunday. It was Sunday. And I decided I want to make Ragu. It was hot outside, and I'm like, but it's fall, and I want to start getting into sweater weather and comfort food. I don't care that it's 90 degrees out. So I grabbed a plate of short ribs and I was gonna smoke them, and then I looked at them like, mmm, this is six pounds of meat. Huh.

SPEAKER_02 31:32

Huh.

SPEAKER_01 31:33

Huh. Well, they cook down a lot. And uh, you know, ragoo gets gets better as it sits. And so then I started frantically calling people like, hey, um, does anybody want pasta? Everybody had plans already. I mean, it was like four o'clock on Sunday night, so I mean, I'm not surprised. But um, so yeah, I smoked these short ribs, shredded them, made a ragu from scratch, ripped down the tomatoes, everything, had the parpadal, paperdal, paperdale, paperdale, uh, you know, the the pasta, the big pasta. Added it all up. When I got in my house, I smelled it. I'm like, oh my god, this smells like Arthur Bryant's, which is the like OG barbecue place in Kansas City that we previously talked about, where it smells like too much like sooty smoke, like not the clean, good smoke you want, just like I'm throwing smoke at this. Ew. And like nobody cleaned the floors and people smoked in there, and somebody smoke spilled a Coca-Cola, like that smell. That's what it smelled like. I'm like, yes. And I just want to say, Simona and I devoured it. Devoured it. Sarah wasn't as much of a fan, but we still have pasta for Simona that she just girl goes to town. It was delightful. Oh boy, Nick.

SPEAKER_00 32:49

I mean, bless you. Nick is quietly coughing and sneezing. We're both struggling a little bit, which is what my food is about. Our damn kids. Our damn kids getting us sick.

SPEAKER_01 32:59

They're such a blessing. Such a blessing.

SPEAKER_00 33:01

Blessed. Hashtag.

SPEAKER_01 33:03

Did you see? Okay, so I was this this guy had uh uh TikTok about his wife's decor, which was uh like blessed signs everywhere. It's like grateful and blessed signs everywhere. And he's like, oh look, we're grateful and blessed. Grateful and blessed. And so then I saw this event locally, uh, that they had a bunch of thank you baskets that different people donated and you could win in a you know like door prize thing. And every single one had some hand like painted signs like grateful, blessed, grateful family. Oh grateful.

SPEAKER_00 33:35

I'm have a different design aesthetic.

SPEAKER_01 33:37

I was like, God, my mom's big on that. I'm like, just stop it. We're not you have friends that are big on that. I know. I'm stop it. All you people stop it. You're not that grateful. I have like literally graffiti art hangings. Bridget has recommended gratitude journals. Get one of those. Stop putting it in my face that you're grateful.

SPEAKER_00 33:55

I did discover an old.

SPEAKER_01 33:56

Or put a hashtag in front of it. At least be ironic about it.

SPEAKER_00 33:59

Yeah, but not if you actually are hanging the sign in your house.

SPEAKER_01 34:03

Bridget should get a graffiti hashtag grateful banksy.

SPEAKER_00 34:07

I am gonna make one. Oh, certainly he's a good one. Oh, I should call Emily. Emily, we need a graffiti blast sign with a hashtag, please. Um, okay, I lied because I have another food thing to talk about. But what I we mentioned like two seconds ago when we've both gone off away from the microphone to hack up our lungs. Um, I was talking to someone about like um there was three of us on a Zoom call, and two of us were sick. And the third one was like, I know all of these like natural health things. And um at this point, I'm gonna try all the things. Uh and she said, Well, there's some certain foods that are great for you. And I'm like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Vitamin C, oranges. She's like, No, apparently, cinnamon is one of the things that's very good for you. And I was like, Great. Do cinnamon rolls and cinnamon toast crunch count? Because that's the level I was at. What about cinnamon beer? I'm not sure. I don't know. We have cinnamon butter. Yeah, I saw that actually. I love Aldi used to carry one of those. Ooh, I'm gonna buy some. Um, anyway, so cinnamon. Cinnamon was my food rack. Cinnamon's delicious. Um, but honestly, I eat cinnamon toast crunch probably uh four days a week.

SPEAKER_01 35:15

My next one, chicken thighs. I made some bomb grilled chicken thighs. Oh no, so I tossed them in two-thirds American barbecue sauce and one-third Korean barbecue sauce with just a touch of hot sauce in there. That sounds delicious. And then just tossed them, tossed them, tossed them. Got the grill to like 400 degrees, you lay them flat because the boneless, skinless ones, not the boned ones. Okay. So it's leaner meat. They're actually a certified lean cut of meat.

SPEAKER_00 35:40

Okay, boneless, I think. In my head, they always have bones.

SPEAKER_01 35:42

So then they just get real a little crispy on the outside because all the sugar caramelizes. Yeah. And then they're a little tangy, a little sweet, just a touch of heat. That's it. And then you cut them up, and we we made sweet potato fries and some corn.

SPEAKER_00 35:54

And it was just like, oh, their dinners are very different than ours. It was so easy, too. I mean, making your own fries is not an easy meal. I'm just gonna lay that out here.

SPEAKER_01 36:05

No, you just cut a potato.

SPEAKER_00 36:06

The easy meal is getting a bag of frozen fries and putting them in an air fryer or on a sheet pan.

SPEAKER_01 36:12

Well, you can do that. That is the easy meal. We were I would have done it except we were out of it. So I just gotta be clear. The five minutes to take the potato, cut it up, toss it in some oil, and put it in the fryer.

SPEAKER_00 36:23

And salt.

SPEAKER_01 36:24

Salt, yes, and pepper, yes.

SPEAKER_00 36:26

I'm just saying, that's not maybe I'm wrong. I need to know. Because this is all over in my life. People have been like, this is an easy meal. I'm like, yeah, homemaking potatoes is not an easy meal.

SPEAKER_01 36:37

Maybe we should say it's a straight meal. I'll say it's a straightforward meal.

SPEAKER_00 36:40

Maybe my threshold of easy is wrong.

SPEAKER_01 36:43

I think like if we were like shredding the potatoes, I'd be like totally on your butt because like you don't need it, like I I'm not peeling them. Let's be clear. I'm making face cuts. Okay, and that's fair. So I make a face cut, so you got your tube, and then you make three cuts, and you have fries.

SPEAKER_00 37:00

I hear you. It's the dicing that takes a long time. I love like I would eat.

SPEAKER_01 37:04

Do you have a good knife? No, you have garbage knives. That's something that gets you for Christmas.

SPEAKER_00 37:07

Oh, no, don't. I'll chop my finger off.

SPEAKER_01 37:09

Um Elliot has better knife.

SPEAKER_00 37:11

It just takes time. Like it Elliot cut his own apple and his own hard-boiled eggs for lunch today. Okay, sorry, that was not my kid corner. I do, before we get into kid corner, should have done this at the beginning, but I'm gonna loosely relate it to food here. Um I gotta give a shout-out to my cousin Megan, who finally was able to get married. Congratulations.

SPEAKER_01 37:31

I don't know you, Megan, but congratulations. Marriage is such a great deal. Yes. It's lovely, it's a blessing. It's lovely, it's a blessing. I'm grateful.

SPEAKER_00 37:38

She owns a home with her husband. They, you know, they were supposed to get married like two years ago. Just kidding. What are the other ones?

SPEAKER_01 37:43

Blessed.

SPEAKER_00 37:44

Blessed, grateful, thankful, family, thankful.

SPEAKER_01 37:46

Uh but um my wife is my greatest blessing. My marriage is.

SPEAKER_00 37:51

They had a beautiful, beautiful wedding. Shut up. On the 80th floor in Chicago, we got a free fireworks show from Navy Pier. But I'm gonna relate it to food right here. Late night pizza from uh Luminar Luminati's, right? I think that's where it was from. Or was it Giordano's? Shit, now I don't know. You Chicago people are gonna kill me. Ooh's pizza was very good. They're both places. They were both places that serve good pizza. So congrats, yummy food, great time. That's all. All right, so now it's time for Kid Corner.

SPEAKER_01 38:20

Uh Bridget started outline this week and said, Oh, I had a snapping. Uh I'm gonna go first because it's not gonna be as good as this. As always, Bridget manages to just have grosser children. Totally invalidate my parenting existence with my two kids. How terrible it is. Uh so I I've been having some you know lower back pain these days. And uh I've never been a flexible person, really. Not one of my strong suits. And due to this pain, I did the Googling, as anybody sane and rational would instead of calling their doctor, what do you do? Google it. Google it. WebMD. And it was pretty clear. Actually, I go to Mayo's site. I go to Mayo or Cleveland Clinic. They seem to have good information.

SPEAKER_00 39:03

Yeah, I mean, I was kidding about WebMD.

SPEAKER_01 39:05

Well, a lot of people seem to do that.

SPEAKER_00 39:07

It's a dot com, not a.org.

SPEAKER_01 39:09

Research 101. Yeah. Like when we were kids, you just are like, well, you can't use Wikipedia because it's terrible. Yeah, because it's a lie. And you can't, you if anything says dot com, you can't use it, but you can use dot org.org. Now it's like trusted. We could go by dinnerplusdrinks.org and be a trusted reader. Anyway. So uh it's basically very clear if you need to do stretching. There's like no drugs, there's no surgery, you need to stretch. You're old now, Nick. So uh I've started stretching, and as a way of making sure Simona leaves her mom alone for like two minutes so she can go to the bathroom. Uh-huh. I involve Simona in the stretching and get her to do the stretching too. You know, sometimes she holds things for me, you know, like pushes my leg the way it's supposed to go. She does a great job. So I was like, oh, this is fun, you know, whatever. It's just a way to kill time. Sarah tells me she was at her mom's the other day with Simona. I wasn't there. And Mitchell goes, her little brother goes, What are you doing? And Sarah walks back because Simona was just in the other room with Mitchell. Simona walks Sarah walks back, and Simona's stretching in the middle of the floor, doing all the stretches. She's going, stretching. Stretching, stretching. Yeah. So we're stretching. I I hit Bridget up for that yoga person. We're gonna we might do some some some baby yoga. It's the best. Um not to be confused with baby yoda. She had that shirt on the other day.

SPEAKER_00 40:24

Baby Yoda. Um it's the best to do like exercise with your kids. It like it's the it instead of saying, Oh, I can't work out until my kids are asleep, or oh, I can't work out, whatever, just make them do it with you.

SPEAKER_01 40:35

She does try to work out on the Peloton with me sometimes, but it leads to my foot coming dangerously close to her face.

SPEAKER_00 40:42

Okay, I'm going off course real quick because you brought it up. Did you see that Peloton's ads are now specifically saying, now $400 cheaper, which leads me to believe their sales are plummeting.

SPEAKER_01 40:53

Oh no, so what they did, so why they're doing that is because they have the second generation and they gave you a discount on the stuff. Yeah, so they gave you already they gave you like a $600 discount if you traded in the um the first generation. So they have all these first generation ones that they refurbed and dropped the price.

SPEAKER_00 41:10

How long has a Peloton like when did the first generation come out? Like four years ago. Oh, really? Oh shit. Where's time? What is time?

SPEAKER_01 41:17

What is time? It's an artificial construct. Is it like this? Is it like this?

SPEAKER_00 41:21

Is it Y'all know my feelings on Pelotons, okay?

SPEAKER_01 41:24

All right. Peloton's plural, so it's just Peloton.

SPEAKER_00 41:29

Even this this right here is a Peloton owner, everybody. What's up, Peloton? What's up, Peloton? Chase that leaderboard. Put your phone. Screw it. Screw you. Okay. We're talking poop in a towel, everybody. Yeah, what is this about? This is what I like to put. I like to put these things on the outline so Nick sees them. Um, so we are Brage's notes say poop in a towel. My notes are all caps. Wait, what? Gross. And then I added a smiley face, excuse me, which I which I soon deleted. Um, okay, so we are very loosely, very loosely, starting to like um do some potty training with Lucy. She's interested. She's gone on the toilet a few times. Good job, Lou. Keep it up. She's also like really struggled with constipation in the last two months or so. Uh, I think we've talked about that on here, but um she has been sick, which is why I am sick. Um, she, you know, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 42:23

She licked me, which is probably why I'm sick.

SPEAKER_00 42:25

I mean, she loves pretending she's a cat, so she straight up licks people. Like, that's part of her, like, she's a little bit more.

SPEAKER_01 42:30

Her and Simon started the quarter licking each other.

SPEAKER_00 42:32

I yeah, like definitely it's why everyone is sick. So she licks toys. I don't know. Sorry if you're around her. Um, she might lick you. Um means she likes you. So uh we were I was home, I was home on my.

SPEAKER_01 42:45

If they like you, girls lick you. Lucy licks you.

SPEAKER_00 42:47

It's weird. Um weird. Tyler was out of town, so I was on my own with the kids, and it was sun, it was Sunday night. Nick invited us over for food, and I was like, I can't function, no. Like, I just got home from this wedding.

SPEAKER_01 42:58

I to be fair, I didn't so much invite you over for food as so much I was Come eat. I needed to pawn pasta off on people. Thank you, Nick.

SPEAKER_00 43:07

Um, so we got home, they both needed baths, so great. Lucy started struggling with pooping again, and I was like, shit. So every time, literally, every time I could hear her, I would like run in the room where she was and lay her down and kind of like pump her legs, which sorry, that's gross. People if you don't have kids, but it helps.

SPEAKER_02 43:21

Gotta do it.

SPEAKER_00 43:22

So um, I would do that. So then she pooped just a little bit, and I was like, okay, great. That's definitely gonna be the only poop because like she poops like once every seven days now, it feels like.

SPEAKER_01 43:31

Well, at least she's regular.

SPEAKER_00 43:33

Yeah, for yeah, very minimally. Um, so then we go, okay, the kids need a bath. So they took a bath 100% of the time. They get them to the bath, we like wrap them up in their towels, and we just like plop them on the couch for a second, like while we're gathering pajamas and whatever. No problem. They've never peed on the couch, they're very good, everything's great. They're wrapped up in towels and blankets, both kids. And again, I'm on my own, so I'm doing my best. But I was like grabbing pajamas, doing something. I hear her start crying again, and I'm like, shit. She's trying to poop again. So Tyler had just called. So I've like got a phone leaning on my ear. Oh no. And I'm running in there. And I was like, I gotta go, Tyler. And I like it.

SPEAKER_01 44:07

You guys gonna be watching YouTube. The reenactment here is strong.

SPEAKER_00 44:10

It is good. So I I dropped the phone like away from my shoulder and I picked Lucy up like stuck over her stomach. Cause now I could see the poop starting to come out. Because remember, she's naked. She just got down out of a bath. So I like had her like I don't know how to explain this. I was grabbing her like half bent over, trying to get her to the toilet. But by the time we got there, she had already pooped a turd in the towel. But then, you know, she's potty training, so it's fun to sit on the toilet. So we sat there forever with the turd still sitting in the towel because of how this worked. Then, you know, we had to plop it in there, whatever. That's not it, guys. She poops in the towel. Great. We get it all cleaned up. She uh we get a diaper on her. She pooped again in the diaper. But now, three times in a row, but now she insists on every time she poops, which hasn't been since then, taking it out of the diaper and dumping it into the toilet, like we did the turd and the towel. So now we have to like, yeah. So anyway, this is where we're at. Potty training's fun, so is constipation and pooping in towels. Please, if your kid poops in things that are not their toilet or the diaper, tell me all about it. Because clearly Lucy does.

SPEAKER_01 45:15

I just wanted to wrap up this episode asking you, are you watching this Gabby Petito stuff?

SPEAKER_00 45:20

Um, I'm purposely not because I you guys are made fun of me, because I want to listen to the podcast about it. I trust podcasts more than like the Channel 12 news.

SPEAKER_01 45:29

It's very interesting. I'm actually not at all interested in this. I shouldn't, but it seems like everybody else is. Sarah's very interested in it.

SPEAKER_00 45:35

I'm like, I'm very interested in sucked into it. I saw that Dog the Bounty Hunter like was had tracked the boyfriend down. Oh, good for him. I don't know if that was a joke or if that's real. So maybe I'm spreading this information. But I did also see, which is really sad, someone shared a very similarly aged girl disappeared in a very similar situation, but this young lady is African American and has gotten no coverage. So it's made me a little sad. It's made me feel like I can't pay attention to the news case.

SPEAKER_01 45:59

Yeah, also the girl that disappeared was an influencer followed by millions of people.

SPEAKER_00 46:02
